Came for the view from the terrace, didn&#39;t leave disappointed. Watched the boats on Plymouth Sound over lunch. Food was decent, a bit pricey maybe. But that view, wow.

Breakfast starts early, which is a plus. The food is decent, nothing fancy but it hits the spot. Price felt fair for what you get.

Nice local pub, they&rsquo;re very dog-friendly which is a plus. The staff were all really helpful and made it a pleasant visit. Had a decent pint and a simple ploughman&rsquo;s lunch &ndash; nothing fancy, but it hit the spot for a relaxed afternoon.

Popped in for lunch on a sunny day. Sophie was really helpful with my dietary stuff, which made it easy. The food was spot on. Just a nice, relaxed meal.

Been ordering from them for 15 years, never a letdown. The food is just reliably good every single time. That&#39;s what keeps us coming back.

A solid, no-fuss spot for a classic fry-up. The scrambled eggs were pretty good, and it&#39;s decent value. Could have been a bit hotter, but a fine choice for a quick breakfast.

Lovely family-run spot. The staff are genuinely warm, which makes a difference. Had a glass of their house red with the pasta&mdash;simple but a nice pairing for a relaxed evening.

Nice bright pub, feels clean. Staff were friendly and cleared tables quickly even when it was busy. That&rsquo;s a plus.

Ordered the burger on the app for a quick lunch. It arrived fast, which is key for me. The burger itself was really flavourful, juicy and hit the spot. Staff were nice and efficient. Solid choice when you&#39;re in a hurry.

Been here a few times, the food&#39;s always solid. The spaghetti bolognese has a nice, rich sauce. But that quadruple chocolate cookie dough... that&#39;s the real star. Seriously, save room for it.

A nice spot that&rsquo;s dog-friendly. The ingredients felt fresh, especially the greens in my salad. Portions were fair for the price. It&rsquo;s a simple, pleasant place for a relaxed meal with my pup.

Had dinner on the deck last week. The river view is the main event here, really nice watching the boats and the ferry. Food was fine, nothing fancy, but the setting makes it. Good spot for a quiet evening.

Such a cosy little freehouse. The staff are lovely, and the draft beer is spot on. The food? Honestly, a solid 10/10. That&#39;s rare for me.

Fresh fish and chips, decent portion for the price. Good for a quick bite in the old town.

Lovely old pub, very cosy inside. The staff were so friendly and attentive, which made the whole evening really relaxed. I had the fish and chips, it was good. A nice, comfortable spot for a quiet meal.

Staff were really friendly even when it was packed. My server was patient while I decided, and the whole vibe was just nice.

The decor is really nice, modern but still feels cosy. Sat by the window and it was a lovely spot to watch the world go by. Food was good, service was quick. Prices are fair for the location on the edge of the town shops.

Lovely stay. The room was cosy and well presented, with nice local toiletries. Food is cooked fresh to order, which was great. Staff were welcoming and the dog-friendly policy is a big plus. Just a note that the breakfast service can get a little slow when they&#39;re busy.

Beef curry was spot on, really tender. Chips were a huge portion, couldn&#39;t finish them. Perfect for a quick, filling lunch. Got my food in about 5 minutes.

Proper country pub, great spot after a walk from Kingsbridge along the estuary. Beers were well-kept, just what you need. Lovely, relaxed atmosphere inside.

Lovely old pub, really cosy. The fish and chips were fantastic, honestly some of the best I&#39;ve had. My only gripe is the portion size for the price - it&#39;s a bit on the small side. Still, a nice meal.

We&#39;re regulars and the food is always spot on. The staff know our usual wine order, which is a nice touch.

Bright and clean, loved the vibe. Saw a few young families with these gorgeous-looking plates of food, made me smile. The menu&#39;s solid, good value too. Staff were really on it and friendly.

The steak and ale pie was the highlight. The pastry was flaky and buttery, the filling rich with tender beef and a deep, savoury gravy. Could have used a few more chunks of meat, but the flavour was spot on. That&#39;s what I came for.

The chef really knows his stuff for gluten-free. Took the time to walk me through the whole menu, even knew where they source the ingredients. Most dishes can be made GF. Food was spot on, and the garden&#39;s a nice spot on a sunny day.
